Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Austria: Muslim migrant arrested, had planned jihad massacre in Vienna

Jan 21, 2017 12:07 pm By Robert Spencer

The fact that Islamic jihadis are entering Europe among Muslim migrants has still not been addressed by European authorities, who continue to stigmatize opponents of the Muslim migrant influx as “racists” and “neo-Nazis.”

“Austria arrest ‘foils terror attack’ in Vienna,” BBC, January 20, 2017:

Austria’s interior minister says the arrest of a man in the capital Vienna has averted a possible terror attack in the city.

Wolfgang Sobotka said the 18-year-old was an Austrian citizen of a migrant background and there were “indications” of jihadist motives.

Police are warning the public to be alert and to report suspicious objects.

The arrest took place at about 17:00 GMT on Friday when special forces raided an apartment….

“Our police forces managed in quick time to arrest a suspect and so prevent a potential terror attack in the federal capital Vienna,” he told reporters….

Mr Sobotka said possible links to Islamic extremist were being investigated.

“There are individual indications [of extremism] that we have to investigate. There is one contact that is pretty clear and there are several indications that will be looked at intensively,” he said.

Mr Sobotka declined to give any further details.

A report by the Austrian newspaper Krone said a group of Islamist militants of Albanian background had planned an attack in Vienna this month. It did not specify its sources….

    Kosovo and Albania are already hotbeds for jihadi recruitment, thanks to the Wahabist money pouring into those nations for the rebuilding and staffing of mosques. The EU should bebtaking a hard look at its migrant populations and where they are going to pray.

        Lea Buschesa says,
        Albania as well as Bosnia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, except Ungaria, they all are Muslim coves!
        Don’t try to call us, “Christians”, stupid people! We know very well that, years ago, those countries where the first entry door for the Muslims to Europe! As soon the Eastblock countries came in to the U.E. the end of “our” E.U.was designed!

    The globalist left came close to taking the USA down. Too close for comfort. They have not stopped and will not. We can all debate the adequacy of Trump’s use of the term radical Islamic terror, but the fact he used it at all says he is willing to name the enemy and confront it.

    They are going full on in Europe. It is good that Austrian law enforcement caught this would-be Jihadi. If the Interior Minister actually spoke directly in terms of “Jihadist motives” and “Islamic extremists”, I see that as a favorable development. Merkel will not speak that way. English and French government officials avoid those terms.

    So if the recent experience in US politics can be replicated in Europe, with the globalist beast held at bay, then nations might be able to stop their own governments from continuing to destabilize national sovereignty using Islamic migration and terror as the tool of the destabilization. That is what it is, a tool. Nothing else explains the behavior of these governments. It is intentional, not merely mistaken, altruistic or negligent.

      Yeah, they’re not going away. O even promised he’d be back after a vacation, right? They should be called out on their hypocrisy: maybe if people could see the wealth and walls they live with.

      My hope is that enough can be turned around under President Trump that a good percentage of the loony left followers will jump ship. It could happen as I think they base their decisions largely on hearsay.

    ” and there were “indications” of jihadist motives.”

    Rubbish.!!! This poor lad is just mentally ill. The discrimination and disenfranchisement that he has had to endure at the hands of the racist, bigoted, xenophobic and islamophobic Kaffirs are responsible for his behaviour.

    Like the Fort Dix Six. I’m guessing he wasn’t one of them “brown people” so there’ll be no cries of “racism”…

    18 year old citizen of immigrant background.

    By the EU standards, isn’t he still a child?

    And not (to) be judged by adult standards? But, perhaps, by dolt standards? (The latter-dolt standards- my view- should apply- the Austrians, in their recent elections, re-elected a pro-immigration party).
